I understand, but my friend drinking alcohol is not the best idea. There are thousands of ways for relieving pain so don't use the worst. I know what is this when you feel unsupportable pain, but My doctor recommended me to use Hydrocodone. Of course, you should consult your doctor before taking it, and in case you've been told you can use Hydrocodone, then you can right here and right now. I hope this is going to help you. Stay safe and have a wonderful day!
